With the change of modern people's lifestyle, there are more and more patients with cerebral infarction, and studies have shown that the increase in cholesterol levels (high blood lipids) in the body is one of the main banes of cerebral infarction.
Once a cerebral infarction occurs, it can be a transient limb weakness and unclear speech, and a severe one is paralyzed or even life-threatening, which brings a great burden to the family and society! To this end, the state advocates the improvement of national health literacy to prevent cerebral infarction. Under the promotion of publicity from all sides, everyone pays more and more attention to physical health, and begins to control the intake of cholesterol in food to prevent the formation of high blood lipids.
I believe that in the inherent impression of most people, they will think that the cholesterol content of animal internal organs is high, and the pig intestine is the leader in the cholesterol content of animal internal organs, right? But today I want to tell you that the real cholesterol "big household" is not the pig intestine, but another kind of pig brain!
Pig intestine is not a cholesterol "big household"
Our daily life food, whether it is eggs, pigs, beef and mutton or animal offal, contains a certain amount of cholesterol, for example, the cholesterol content in each 100g of chicken, beef, sheep and pork is about 60-85mg, and the cholesterol content of 100g of animal offal is about 100-400mg, which is indeed higher than that of general meat, and everyone thinks that the "best" pig intestine, per 100g cholesterol content is 130-150mg, so it is not the highest.
The study found that the brain tissue of animals is the "big household" of cholesterol, such as pig brain flowers, every 100g of pig brain flowers, cholesterol content of up to 2000mg or more. In life, many people are superstitious about what to eat, so many people like to eat brain flowers in order to supplement the brain, if you often eat brain flowers, not only does not help the brain, but also easily leads to hypercholesterolemia, but can induce atherosclerosis, resulting in the possibility of cerebral infarction!
In addition to diet, this must be done to effectively prevent cerebral infarction
Prevention of hypercholesterolemia is one of the measures to prevent cerebral infarction, but it is not enough to limit cholesterol intake from the diet, because some people are slow metabolic in physique, which is commonly known as "fat constitution", so even if you consume very little cholesterol, hypercholesterolemia may occur. Cerebral infarction is one of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, to prevent cerebral infarction, you must start from the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk factors, so you must also do it from the following aspects.
1. Quit smoking
Tobacco smoke contains more than 200 kinds of toxic and harmful substances, at least 69 substances have carcinogenic effects, smoking can damage the function of vascular endothelials, resulting in atherosclerosis, plaque instability and thrombosis. The study found that smoking increases the relative risk of cerebral infarction by 90%, so preventing cerebral infarction first requires smoking cessation.
2. Alcohol restrictions
The 2018 WHO has made it clear that there is no "safety value" for drinking alcohol, as long as drinking alcohol has adverse health effects no matter how much. Especially for patients with hyperlipidemia, even a small amount of alcohol consumption will lead to a further increase in the level of lipids in the blood, resulting in an increased risk of cerebral infarction, so alcohol should be abstained or strictly restricted.
3. Exercise
Long-term physical inactivity can lead to overweight and obesity, and overweight and obesity will bring hypertension, hyperlipidemia and high blood sugar to the body, thereby increasing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and a large number of studies have found that the amount of physical activity is inversely proportional to the incidence and risk of death of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
In short, to prevent cerebral infarction, in addition to controlling the three highs, it is also necessary to pay attention to improving lifestyle, and it is very critical to control high cholesterol intake on the diet, I believe most people can not imagine that the brain tissue of animals will contain such high cholesterol, right? So the doctor reminds again that to prevent cerebral infarction, the brain tissue of animals should be touched as little as possible!
